Tehran - Golestan Palace

Okay, after so long I'm back to blogging! I would like to give this blogging thing a go again, mind me. So blog ni kita campur ye BM dan English. Nak cerita pengalaman jalan-jalan Iran bulan May haritu. In general, Iran is such a beautiful country. Masa sebelum pergi tu memang ingat negara ni dipenuhi dengan orang pakai jubah hitam, orang dia kasar macam orang Arab, dan tempat dia kotor. Semua itu adalah salah! Salah sekali... it was the opposite of everything that we thought it would be.

Perjalanan nak pergi Tehran makan masa lebih kurang 8 jam. Kami ambik flight malam, so sepanjang perjalanan tu adalah cuba tidur tapi tak berapa nak berjaya. AirAsia punya seat memang "best". Haha

Sampai je dekat airport we were greeted by the Hostel owner. Dia yang datang pick up kitorg. Such a nice man... umurnya dah tua sikit tapi still sihat. Dia tanya Hani, "how old are you?" "26" "What? I thought you were 18!" Hahaha

Okay so sampai je hostel dah dalam pukul 1 pagi macamtu, kami terus siap-siap nak tidur dan solat. 

The next morning, kami bangun pagi dan bersarapan. 

Kami tukar duit dengan hostel owner je. Bawak duit USD dan since rate dia bagus, kami tak payah susah-susah nak pergi money changer. 

First stop was Golestan Palace. 

Golestan Palace memang cantik and highly recommended. Kalau minat architecture and history, memang highly recommended. FYI, Iran ni adalah negara Parsi. Jadi diorg punya civilization tu sangatlah lama, they existed even before Islam existed. Rasanya adalah dalam 4000 tahun. So tinggalan sejarah diorang sangat banyak and sampai sekarang banyak lagi kampung-kampung, istana dan rumah orang kebesaran dulu-dulu.

Nak info pasal Golestan Palace boleh Google. Tapi masa sampai ni memang sangatlah teruja tengok bangunan dia. Cantik sangat. Bila masuk tu lagilah best. Disebabkan ada banyak area yang tak boleh ambik gambar, jadi korang kena datang sendiri and explore this place. Dia ada banyak dinding/area yang boleh ambik gambar, very Instagram worthy place! Nah boleh tengok short video I made on Golestan Palace.

p/s: Video ni satu minit je, lagu je lebih. Haha

Life Update (March 2017)

Hello! Been a while since I last updated this blog. Sebab kenapa? Sebab I've lost my mojo and motivation to write and share anything. Hehe...

2016 was the year that I travelled a LOT. By a lot, I mean almost every month?

In January I came back for umrah, and went to Bangkok.

In March I went to Tokyo, and failed at blogging on that trip (guilty as charged).

In July I went to Bandung with the family for Hari Raya. At the end of July I went to Osaka, Japan.

In September I went to Seoul with my friend Sophie.

In October I went to Europe - Istanbul, Bosnia and a little bit of Croatia.

In December I went to Tokyo again and a week after that I went to Seoul again.

This year economy is not so great, it's also my second year of doing business, which means the challenges have just begun so there's always financial instability there. But I won't quit, I'll do this because I love the flexibility that it gives me....

.... and one of my goals this year is to be a content creator, where I break through my shell and try to blog more consistently about everything I come across, and maybe do a bit of Youtube? :)
